Penn State finds themselves in another tough spot after losing to a team they felt they could compete with this season. Just like after their loss to Ohio State, the Nittany Lions have to pick themselves up off the mat after losing to Michigan last Saturday.
The first game after losing to the Buckeyes didn’t go so well, as the Indiana Hoosiers came to town and held a late lead in the game.
Rutgers will look to do the same on Saturday.
While many people might not feel this way, it’s an important game for the Nittany Lions. Finishing with 10 wins compared to eight or nine looks much different for recruits, bowl game possibilities and overall health of the program.
To avoid losing to hungry and upset minded Rutgers team, the defense will have to carry the burden again.
Here are the defensive keys to victory.
